California Square
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
A nice Cabernet Sauvignon from California.
Simple and fruit forward with black fruits, earth, chocolates, tobacco and spices.
Medium bodied with a light mouthfeel.
Spicy finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries.
A nice looking bottle, the wine not so much 😍 Good enough for happy hour, but nothing special.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Clear, dark ruby. Classic Cab Sauv nose of cassis and clove, echoed on the smooth, silky palate fortunately — and perhaps surprisingly — without the bell pepper usually found in such Cabs. Medium minus acidity and near zero tannins make this the definition of “easy drinking” at this price point. Not a “dinner table” wine (and definitely not one for long-term holding) but a “cookout Cab” and it should shine in that capacity. #wfl #WineReviews

2012 enjoyed Aug 2015. I really like this blend. Smooth and balanced. Great price as well.

I've seen this Cabernet in this unique, square bottle for a while now, and I decided to give it a try.
Ruby red in color with medium intensity and a light red rim.
Not too pronounced on the nose, with blackberries, blueberries, sour cherries, funk, earth, wood, light cloves and black pepper.
Light to Medium-bodied.
On the palate, blueberries, plums, light vannilla, cherries, strawberries, oak, earth and light peppercorn.
Short finish with soft tannins.
Nice gimmic on the bottle shape, but nothing more than an OK, everyday wine. At $16 at Total Wine, I think that it is overpriced.

Bright raspberry notes to start, finished smooth and tasteful. Everything you love from a central coast Californian wine. Love the different bottle, helps it stand out. Absolutely amazing for the price.

Had a slight honey scent. Tasting notes aren't to predominant other than a red wine. Maybe berry. Was not drinking with food. Chocolate is a neutral impact
